Navy SSBN Wood Art

The Navy's ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) often referred to as "boomers," serve as an undetectable launch platform for submarine-launched ballistic missiles. They are designed specifically for stealth and the precise delivery of nuclear warheads.

Each of the 14 ≤b>Ohio-class SSBNs originally carried up to 24 SLBMs with multiple, independently-targeted warheads.

A Ballistic Missile Submarine is a submarine capable of deploying submarine-launched ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads. The United States Navy's hull classification symbols for ballistic missile submarines are SSB and SSBN. These submarines became a major weapon system in the Cold War because of their nuclear deterrence capability. They can fire missiles thousands of kilometers from their targets, and acoustic quieting makes them difficult to detect, thus making them a survivable deterrent in the event of a first strike and a key element of the mutual assured destruction policy of nuclear deterrence.
